hi lindsey,
i didnt know that thanks for letting me know, do you know how i can find out who lived in redvers richardson and gladys dorman's household once they were married which was in kings lynn 1923.
or anything on them really im new to this and seem to be getting no where x

wow how do you do this!! now how do i find out catherines maiden name? this is so confusing, and can i find the same thing you just have but with redvers the head of house rather than son too?
think that makes sense!
thanks,
tasha x

Just had a quick look! wow did not expect quite so many Thomas Richardson marriages in that area!! how ever there is one in the DecQ 1883 district of registration Gateshead for

Thomas Richardson

Catherine Coulthard

could be yours as the dates and area is about the right time before their first child is born.

yes not the rarest of names is it, but i think you may have found it as it would be about right, this goes on forever there is so many things i need to find and just getting confused. ha. think im going to make a cup of tea and return in few minutes.
thanks for helping msk

thanks for that david, i was told something else which was wrong and yours is correct as i knew it was 1906 but didnt know when.
thanks x

I have had a quick look at the 1871 Census and found Catherine Coulthard! the area is right and she has a brother Alexander !! so this could be her

Hi Tasha.

Like you I started with a few names way back in 2005, now my tree is over 1000 names, so as you can see it is quite addictive. I joined Ancestry.co.uk and found this to be a great help, you can look at the site for free to get an idea, also there are many free sites you can find and for some more inspiration dont forget to watch who do you think you are tonight,

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me and I will do my best

Enjoy your cuppa

Whilst you are waiting for all those certificates to arrive you could try practicing on the freeBMD site mentioned above to get used to the layout and information.

For example if you do a search for All Types, Dorman in Kings Lynn you get info from 1839 to 1925.

You should see Gladys birth and also the info needed to order a certificate (Volume/Page Number etc).

You will also see that lower down the page that after 1911 the mothers maiden name and spouses maiden names can also be seen, which helps tracking possible siblings.

That info also helps find marriages of parents.

As another example if you look further up the page you will see records of marriages.
If you click on the page number you should see a list of possible spouses.

What I do is look at the previous male marriages and try to find the names on the census. The two previous male marriages for instance Bertie and Frederick William can both be found on the census, and looking at the 1891 census are probably brothers. They look like they are the sons of William T and Elizabeth.

Looking back on the freeBMD page you can see a marriage of a William T in 1877. This then means you can look for people on the free 1881 census here:

http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp

And the search goes on.

Good Luck

Dave

oh my god, ill be here forever, ill have a look now. thanks dave x

Hi Tasha,

couldnt resist looking at the original 1901 census image and Thomas Richardson was a Loco engine driver ? his son Thomas age 16 was a Railway engine fitter.
Their address is given as Jubilee Terrace, Saddlebow Rd, Kings Lynn
